AMAZING TV! August 12, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

We were worried about the sound quality when we chose the Samsung because of one bad review. NO PROBLEM. It is great on low or high. The picture quality is awesome and so are the other features. Can't believe we can have a slide show on the TV! We love this set!! Everyone is mesmerized by the incredible HD picture. We received our order from Amazon in only 3 days plus the man brought it right into our den and unpacked it. Wonderful service, we could not be more pleased!

I purchased an lnt4665 a 6 months ago for 1700$, gave it an exceptional review. I purchased this one yesterday for my girlfriend for 1141$. The only thing I can complain about, between the two, is the fact Samsung released upgraded models in the LN series for about 300$ cheaper than the last models.

This ln40a550 model is every bit as good as my lnt4665 with higher contrast ratio, I highly recommend it. Shipping just like my last one was great too, I ordered it Monday morning at 1am and picked it up this morning at 1am. If your in the DFW,TX area you can pick it up within about 12 hours at the CEVA warehouse near the airport. Amazon was good so far too, the LCD went down 52$ since last night and I called and got a credit.

Compared to my LNT4665 model, the menus are alot faster and the contrast is better. Overall the LCD seems like a real upgrade from the previous models. Didn't notice much else in the hour-ish it took me to set it up, wake my girlfriend up at 3am to show her, and leave. Happy watching.

I did a lot of research before buying this TV and can honestly say I'm very happy with the purchase. Given other reviews I was a bit worried about the sound quality, but the sound is excellent through the TV speakers alone. Everything else: picture quality, menu functions and setup, remote, etc. are superb. And Amazon's price beat every other on-line quote.

Mind boggling picture, sound not so much.. August 11, 2008
It's been about 2 months since I have this TV. This is my first HDTV and wow what a transition. Even before I upgraded my cable to HD, I was pleasantly surprised to see this Samsung TV pick up the local HD channels through the QAM tuner. Anyway, the picture quality is mind boggling with true colors and great black levels. I am a bit annoyed with the dynamic contrast which prompted me to turn this feature off. There is enough number of I/O ports and the swivel base makes it more convenient. I compared this with the Sony TVs and decided to go ahead with this for more bang for buck. The shipping service was great, the CEVA folks unpacked and setup the TV to make sure it's working. Amazon's 30 day price guarantee is also great and I received a couple of refunds when the price fell down.

The sound on the other hand is quite disappointing. I'd say it's just about OK for general viewing but woefully inadequate for movie/sports watching. Somehow with the entertainment center I have the sound seems to be directed more toward the back than to the front. I think it's a given fact that most of the newer TVs on the market need home theater systems, except maybe the higher end models. I just got myself a Samsung HT-TWZ412H and it's so much better. The ANYNET feature worked like a breeze through the HDMI and the TV remote controls the sound on the home theater setup. I connected the cable box to the home theater using an optical cable.

SD channels on this HDTV look like crap, so much that I've completely stopped watching SD channels.

All in all the TV is great but if it fits the budget, you'll have to seriously consider getting yourself a home theater to up your experience.
